FALL back...

school is almost back in session for folks all across the country. so for the next couple of weeks i will be posting some "hot ish" for the fall looks that we are all so desperately seeking to stay on top of.

for the ladies:
bold colors are ALWAYS in and it's all about how you rock 'em. i am really feeling patterns and colorful prints. today we will focus on a daytime look that can take you from campus to lunch with your girls. here is a head to toe look.....


pair this skirt from Forever 21 with a plain tshirt or tank.

if you're on the west coast, the weather will still be nice out so a skirt is fitting for a bold back 2 school look.

don't forget your accessories. i'd pair chunky bracelets OR necklaces with this look. however, don't overdo it with chunky/big bracelets, necklaces, AND earrings. never be afraid to mix colors, textures, & sizes when it comes 2 ur accessories.

examples: necklace from Urban Outfitters.



gold & peacock bangles from Charlotte Russe.

for the feet, go with a cute gladiator (or similar styled) sandal. i found these over at ShiekhShoes.com



hope this helps a little!

what I say goes....

so I decided that I'm just not feeling:
-everybody wearing the white vnecks w scarf draped "just so" around the neck look...officially over it.
-nerd glasses... kanye & pharrell are barely getting by w this.
-the sudden obsession w lumberjack shirts.
-leggings and tshirts. sorry, just don't wanna see ur buns ladies.
-everyone's claim on SWAG. knock it off. swag is like energy...can't be created or destroyed, merely transfered. so the fact that everyone woke up a few months ago w some new found swagger is total BS.
-def on my way 2 being over this animal print fad.

BUT...never fear, I do find myself loving a few things:
-these new shows that highlight the ppl w real fashion sense... STYLISTS!!
-subtly chic outfits w a poppin shoe 2 jazz it up.
-pastel eye color (i.e. lavender, baby blue, pink, etc) pastel in the fall/winter will have u lookin like the ultimate wintery wonderland diva!
-cowboy boots will forever hold my heart!
-colors of my season: purple, yellow (mustard), green, burnt orange, electric blue.
-patterns of my season: floral, abstracts, & always polka dot
-love cuts & designs inspired by the 70s. (i.e. strapless jumper @ 4ever 21 that needs 2 b in my closet asap)


don't worry lovies...there is so much more that iim loving & hating.

more guidance later.


peace lovies!

FRESH FROCKS: diggin these threads...

so the other day i was consuming my daily quickfix of fashion over on concreteloop.com when something rather interesting piqued my interest.

Boxing Kitten.
a vintage line of daring patterns & colors welded 2gether to celebrate the divalicious spirits of some foxy black women who have come before us. dresses, shorts, & blouses inspired by Eartha Kitt, Billie Holiday, Josephine Baker, & other "SHEROES" the designer (Maya Amina) loves.

fans of Boxing Kitten include: ME! lol, J.Davey, DJ Rashida (america's best dance crew), Erykah Badu, etc etc...

check out some of my fave pieces:

the "Josephine" Dress
